DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor package 1 according to some example embodiments of the inventive concepts. The semiconductor package 1 may include a substrate 20, a semiconductor chip 40, and a molding layer 60. The semiconductor package 1 may be, for example, a fan-out semiconductor package.

The substrate 20 may be a redistribution substrate. The redistribution substrate may be thinner than a printed circuit board (PCB), and thus a total size of the semiconductor package 1 may be reduced. The substrate 20 may have a first surface 20 a and a second surface 20 b opposite to each other. The first surface 20 a may be a bottom surface of the substrate 20, and the second surface 20 b may be a top surface of the substrate 20. First conductive pads 22 may be provided on the bottom surface 20 a of the substrate 20, and external solder balls 24 may be connected to the first conductive pads 22, respectively. The external solder balls 24 may receive input-output/test signals and input-output/test voltages from an external device (not shown).

The first conductive pads 22 may include connection pads and test pads. The connection pads may include a connection pad for power supply, a connection pad for grounding, and/or connection pads for signal transmission. The test pads may be pads to which test voltages are applied to evaluate characteristics and/or reliability of a semiconductor package.

The substrate 20 may include an insulating layer 10 and redistribution patterns 26 disposed in the insulating layer 10. Even though not shown in the drawings, the insulating layer 10 may include a plurality of stacked layers. For example, the insulating layer 10 may include insulating layers and passivation layers. Referring to FIG. 2, the insulating layer 10 may include an insulating pattern 16 and passivation patterns 12 and 14, as will be described later.

The redistribution patterns 26 may electrically connect the first conductive pads 22 of the substrate 20 to second conductive pads 42 of the semiconductor chip 40. Further, even though not shown in the drawings, integrated circuits may be disposed in the substrate 20, and the redistribution patterns 26 may be electrically connected to the integrated circuits. The redistribution patterns 26 may include a conductive layer within the insulating layer 10 and a via vertically penetrating the insulating layer 10. However, in the present specification, the conductive layer and the via of the redistribution pattern 26 are not distinguished from each other for the purpose of ease and convenience of explanation.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a portion ‘II’ of FIG. 1 according to some example embodiments of the inventive concepts. FIG. 2 illustrates a pad connection structure that is in direct contact with the second conductive pad 42 of the semiconductor chip 40. The second conductive pad 42 illustrated in FIG. 2 may be, for example, the test pad. Here, the pad connection structure may include the first and second passivation patterns 12 and 14, and the insulating pattern 16, and at least one of the redistribution patterns 26 in direct contact with the second conductive pad 42. Hereinafter, only the redistribution pattern being in direct contact with the second conductive pad 42 is referred to as the redistribution pattern for the purpose of ease and convenience of explanation.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a first passivation pattern 12 may be disposed on the second conductive pad 42. For example, the first passivation pattern 12 may be disposed under a bottom surface of the second conductive pad 42 and may vertically overlap with the second conductive pad 42. An outer sidewall of the first passivation pattern 12 may be laterally offset from an outer sidewall of the second conductive pad 42 in a direction from the outer sidewall of the second conductive pad 42 toward a center of the second conductive pad 42. For example, the outer sidewall of the first passivation pattern 12 may be disposed under the bottom surface of the second conductive pad 42. That is, the outer sidewall of the first passivation pattern 12 may be disposed inside a region surrounded by the outer sidewall of the second conductive pad 42 when viewed from a plan view. The first passivation pattern 12 may expose a portion of the second conductive pad 42. For example, the first passivation pattern 12 may expose a central region of the second conductive pad 42.

A second passivation pattern 14 laterally spaced apart from the first passivation pattern 12 may be disposed outside the first passivation pattern 12. A portion of the second passivation pattern 14 may vertically overlap with the second conductive pad 42, and another portion of the second passivation pattern 14 may not vertically overlap with the second conductive pad 42. For example, an inner portion of the second passivation pattern 14 may vertically overlap with the second conductive pad 42, and the rest of the second passivation pattern 14 may be disposed on a bottom surface 40 a of the semiconductor chip 40, on which the second conductive pad 42 is not provided. For example, the inner portion of the second passivation pattern 14 may be disposed under the bottom surface of the second conductive pad 42, and the rest of the second passivation pattern 14 may be disposed under the bottom surface 40 a of the semiconductor chip 40 that is exposed by the second conductive pad 42.

The first and second passivation patterns 12 and 14 may be disposed at the same level. Here, the level may mean a vertical distance from a surface of the substrate 20 or semiconductor chip 40. The first and second passivation patterns 12 and 14 may be formed of the same material. The first and second passivation patterns 12 and 14 may include, for example, an insulating polymer.

The redistribution pattern 26 may cover the portion of the second conductive pad 42 exposed by the first passivation pattern 12, and may fill a space between the first and second passivation patterns 12 and 14. The redistribution pattern 26 may cover the central redistribution pattern of the second conductive pad 42 so as to be in direct contact with the second conductive pad 42. The redistribution pattern 26 may include an isolation region 26 i filling the space between the first and second passivation patterns 12 and 14. The redistribution pattern 26 may include, for example, copper (Cu).

The insulating pattern 16 may be disposed between the second passivation pattern 14 and the second conductive pad 42. A portion (e.g., an inner end portion) of the insulating pattern 16 may be disposed between the second conductive pad 42 and the isolation region 26 i. The insulating pattern 16 may include, but not limited to, silicon nitride.

The isolation region 26 i may isolate the first and second passivation patterns 12 and 14 from each other, and thus the first passivation pattern 12 being in direct contact with the second conductive pad 42 may be isolated on the bottom surface of the second conductive pad 42. Thus, the redistribution pattern 26 may surround the first passivation pattern 12 to shield the first passivation pattern 12.

Referring again to FIG. 1, the semiconductor chip 40 may be mounted on the substrate 20. The semiconductor chip 40 may be, but not limited to, a memory chip. The semiconductor chip 40 may have a first surface 40 a and a second surface 40 b opposite to each other. The first surface 40 a may be the bottom surface of the semiconductor chip 40, and the second surface 40 b may be a top surface of the semiconductor chip 40. The second conductive pads 42 may be formed on the bottom surface 40 a of the semiconductor chip 40. Even though not shown in the drawings, integrated circuits may be disposed in the semiconductor chip 40 and the second conductive pads 42 may be electrically connected to the integrated circuits of the semiconductor chip 40.

The second conductive pads 42 may include connection pads and test pads. The connection pads of the second conductive pads 42 may include a connection pad for power supply, a connection pad for grounding, and/or connection pads for signal transmission. The test pads of the second conductive pads 42 may be pads to which test voltages are applied to evaluate characteristics and/or reliability of a semiconductor package.

The molding layer 60 may cover the semiconductor chip 40 on the substrate 20. The molding layer 60 may include, for example, an insulating polymer such as an epoxy molding compound (EMC). The molding layer 60 may protect the semiconductor chip 40 from external environment such as physical impact or moisture. FIG. 1 illustrates the molding layer 60 covering the semiconductor chip 40 on the substrate 20. In some example embodiments, a top surface of the molding layer 60 may be substantially coplanar with the top surface 40 b of the semiconductor chip 40, and thus the top surface 40 b of the semiconductor chip 40 may be exposed.

According to the above mentioned example embodiments, the redistribution pattern 26 may be connected directly to the second conductive pad 42 of the semiconductor chip 40 in the pad connection structure. However, example embodiments of the inventive concepts are not limited thereto. For example, the pad connection structure described above may be applied to another redistribution pattern, which is connected to the first conductive pad 22 of the substrate 20. According to the above mentioned example embodiments, the conductive pads protrude from the surfaces of the substrate 20 and the semiconductor chip 40. However, example embodiments of the inventive concepts are not limited thereto.

FIGS. 3A to 3C are cross-sectional views illustrating a method of forming a pad connection structure of FIG. 2. At this time, FIGS. 3A to 3C illustrate the pad connection structure of FIGS. 1 and 2 which is turned over. Referring to FIG. 3A, the insulating pattern 16 and a passivation layer 11 may be formed on the bottom surface 40 a of the semiconductor chip 40 and the second conductive pad 42.

For example, an insulating layer may be formed on the bottom surface 40 a of the semiconductor chip 40 and the second conductive pad 42, and a patterning process may be performed on the insulating layer to form the insulating pattern 16 by which a portion of the second conductive pad 42 is exposed. The insulating pattern 16 may expose a central region of the second conductive pad 42. The insulating layer may include, but not limited to, silicon nitride. An end portion of the insulating pattern 16 may remain on an edge region of the second conductive pad 42. Next, the passivation layer 11 may be formed on the insulating pattern 16 and the second conductive pad 42, and a planarization process may be performed on the passivation layer 11 in such a way that a top surface of the passivation layer 11 is substantially flat. The passivation layer 11 may include, for example, an insulating polymer.

Referring to FIG. 3B, the passivation layer 11 may be patterned to form first and second passivation patterns 12 and 14. For example, a first region of the passivation layer 11 may be removed to form a first opening O1, and a second region of the passivation layer 11 outside the first region may be removed to form a second opening O2. The first region may vertically overlap with a central region of the second conductive pad 42, and thus the first opening O1 may expose the central region of the second conductive pad 42. The second region may vertically overlap with an edge region of the second conductive pad 42, and thus the second opening O2 may expose the insulating pattern 16 disposed on the edge region of the second conductive pad 42.

The passivation layer 11 may be divided into the first and second passivation patterns 12 and 14 by the first and second openings O1 and O2. Thus, the first passivation pattern 12 may be isolated on the second conductive pad 42. The first and second openings O1 and O2 may be formed at the same time. However, example embodiments of the inventive concepts are not limited thereto. In certain example embodiments, the first and second openings O1 and O2 may be sequentially formed. For example, the second opening O2 may be formed after the formation of the first opening O1.

Referring to FIG. 3C, a redistribution pattern 26 may be formed to fill the first and second openings O1 and O2. For example, the redistribution pattern 26 may cover the exposed portion of the second conductive pad 42 and the first passivation pattern 12. The redistribution pattern 26 may surround the first passivation pattern 12. In some example embodiments, a metal layer may be deposited, and the deposited metal layer may be patterned to form the redistribution pattern 26. A portion of the redistribution pattern 26, which fills the second opening O2 between the first and second passivation patterns 12 and 14, may define the isolation region 26 i. The redistribution pattern 26 may include, for example, copper (Cu).

Thereafter, additional insulating and/or passivation layers and additional redistribution patterns may be formed to complete the substrate 20 including the insulating layer 10 and the redistribution patterns 26.

According to the aforementioned example embodiments of the inventive concepts, the passivation layer on the second conductive pad 42 may be divided into the first and second passivation patterns 12 and 14. Thus, the first passivation pattern 12, which is in direct contact with the second conductive pad 42, may be an isolated pattern. Thus, impurity ions existing inside and outside the package may be mitigated or prevented from being transferred to the second conductive pad 42 through a passivation pattern. For example, chloride ions may be mitigated or prevented from being diffused into the second conductive pad 42. Because the first and second openings O1 and O2 are formed at the same time and the redistribution pattern 26 is formed to the openings O1 and O2, fabrication processes may be simplified. Thus, reliability of the semiconductor chip may be improved.

In a conventional semiconductor package, ions inside and outside the semiconductor package may be activated and be moved to a spot to which a high voltage is supplied during operation. For example, at least one of a substrate, a molding layer, or an underfill layer (not shown) of the conventional semiconductor package may include negative ions such as chloride ions. Thus, if the passivation pattern in direct contact with the conductive pad 42 is not an isolated pattern as in some example embodiments of the inventive concepts, impurity ions may be transferred to the second conductive pad 42 through the passivation pattern, thereby corroding the second conductive pad 42. If a reliability test (e.g., a temperature-humidity-bias (THB) test) of the semiconductor package is performed under environment of relatively high temperature and/or humidity, the transfer of the impurity ions may be accelerated, and thus accelerate the corrosion of the second conductive pad 42.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a portion ‘II’ of FIG. 1 according to some example embodiments of the inventive concepts. FIG. 4 also illustrates a pad connection structure turned over like FIGS. 3A to 3C. In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the same elements as described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3C will be indicated by the same reference numerals or the same reference designators and the descriptions thereto will be omitted or mentioned briefly for the purpose of ease and convenience of explanation.

Referring to FIG. 4, a first passivation pattern 12 a may include a first portion, which is formed on the insulating pattern 16, and a second portion extending from the first portion. For example, the first portion of the first passivation pattern 12 a may be disposed between the second portion of the first passivation pattern 12 a and an isolation region 26 ia of a redistribution pattern 26. A horizontal distance from the center of the second conductive pad 42 to the first portion of the first passivation pattern 12 a may be smaller than a horizontal distance from the center of the second conductive pad 42 to the isolation region 26 ia. In some example embodiments, an inner portion of the first passivation pattern 12 a may be in direct contact with the second conductive pad 42, but an outer portion of the first passivation pattern 12 a may be disposed on the insulating pattern 16. A portion of the insulating pattern 16 may be disposed between the second conductive pad 42 and the first passivation pattern 12 a. For example, an inner end portion of the insulating pattern 16 may be disposed between the second conductive pad 42 and the first passivation pattern 12 a.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a portion ‘II’ of FIG. 1 according to some example embodiments of the inventive concepts. FIG. 5 also illustrates a pad connection structure turned over like FIG. 4. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the same elements as described with reference to FIG. 4 will be indicated by the same reference numerals or the same reference designators and the descriptions thereto will be omitted or mentioned briefly for the purpose of ease and convenience of explanation.

Referring to FIG. 5, an outer sidewall of a first passivation pattern 12 b may cover or surround the outer sidewall of the second conductive pad 42. For example, the outer sidewall of the first passivation pattern 12 b may be disposed outside an edge or a boundary of the second conductive pad 42 when viewed from a plan view. Thus, an isolation region 26 ib of the redistribution pattern 26 may be laterally spaced apart from the second conductive pad 42 and may be disposed outside the second conductive pad 42.

FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of a portion ‘II’ of FIG. 1 according to some example embodiments of the inventive concepts. FIG. 6 also illustrates a pad connection structure turned over like FIG. 5. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, the same elements as described with reference to FIG. 2 will be indicated by the same reference numerals or the same reference designators and the descriptions thereto will be omitted or mentioned briefly for the purpose of ease and convenience of explanation.

A semiconductor package may include a shielding pattern 18 (instead of the isolation region of the redistribution pattern 26 i, 26 ia, or 26 ib in the above example embodiments) filling the space between the first and second passivation patterns 12 and 14. The shielding pattern 18 may include a material that has a lower hygroscopic property than the redistribution pattern 26 and/or that is capable of effectively preventing ion transfer. A level of the shielding pattern 18 may be the same as levels of the first and second passivation patterns 12 and 14.

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor package 2 according to some example embodiments of the inventive concepts. In the semiconductor package 2, the same elements as described in the semiconductor package 1 of FIG. 1 will be indicated by the same reference numerals or the same reference designators and the descriptions thereto will be omitted or mentioned briefly for the purpose of ease and convenience of explanation.

Redistribution patterns 26 of the semiconductor package 2 may constitute a multi-layered structure, and an insulating layer 10 of the semiconductor package 2 may have a multi-layered structure. For example, the example embodiments of the inventive concepts may be applied to any package structure, in which the second conductive pad 42 is in direct contact with the redistribution pattern 26, regardless of the structures and shapes of the insulating layer 10 and the redistribution patterns 26.

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor package 3 according to some example embodiments of the inventive concepts. The semiconductor package 3 may be a package-on-package (PoP) type device. The semiconductor package 3 may include a lower package 100 and an upper package 200 mounted on the lower package 100. The lower package 100 of FIG. 8 may be any one of the semiconductor packages 1 and 2 described with reference to FIGS. 1 through 6. Thus, in the embodiment of FIG. 8, the same descriptions as in the example embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 6 will be omitted or mentioned briefly for the purpose of ease and convenience of explanation.

The upper package 200 and the lower package 100 may be connected to each other through at least one solder portion 250. In some example embodiments, the upper package 200 may include a memory chip, and the lower package 100 may include a logic chip. The pad connection structure according to some example embodiments of the inventive concepts may also be applied to a connection portion which is connected to at least one redistribution pattern connected to third conductive pads 28 disposed on the top surface 20 a of the substrate 20 of the lower package 100 and/or which is connected to a fourth conductive pad 210 of the upper package 200.

FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor package 4 according to some example embodiments of the inventive concepts. In the embodiment of FIG. 9, the same elements as described with reference to FIG. 8 will be indicated by the same reference numerals or the same reference designators and the descriptions thereto will be omitted or mentioned briefly for the purpose of ease and convenience of explanation.

A lower package 100 may further include connection portions 80 disposed outside the semiconductor chip 40. Although not shown in the drawings, the lower package 100 may further include an interposer substrate or printed circuit board including the connection portions 80. The pad connection structure according to some example embodiments of the inventive concepts may also be applied to at least one of redistribution patterns connected to the connection portions 80.

According to some example embodiments of the inventive concepts, the passivation layer on the conductive pad may be divided into the first and second passivation patterns laterally spaced apart from each other, and the first passivation pattern isolated from the second passivation pattern may be in direct contact with the conductive pad. Thus, impurity ions existing inside and outside the package may be mitigated or prevented from being transferred to the conductive pad through a passivation pattern. For example, chloride ions into the conductive pad may be mitigated or prevented from corroding the conductive pad. Thus, reliability of the semiconductor chip may be improved without an additional process or complex fabrication processes.

While the inventive concepts have been described with reference to some example embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirits and scopes of the inventive concepts. Therefore, it should be understood that the above example embodiments are not limiting, but illustrative.
